Chapter 751: No Breakup Please

Sophia immediately left the room, avoiding being seen by Matthew and Yuri. She headed straight to the comfort rooms. She tried to calm herself and gather her emotions.

She had to admit that she felt jealous after seeing Matthew and Yuri hugging each other. But she was telling herself not to jump to conclusions yet.

Matthew informed her that he was coming and he was near the hospital. Sophia was waiting for Matthew a while ago when she decided to visit Yuri.

She wanted to talk to her and reach out to her. She knew that Yuri was a good doctor so it's unfair if she would avoid her. 

Who would have thought that upon dropping by her office she would see something she didn't expect?

Matthew and she just made up after arguing because of Yuri but now, she would see a scene where Matthew and Yuri were involved.

Sophia watched her reflection in the mirror. She pressed her hand against her chest. She exhaled deeply before wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes.

She didn't want Matthew to know that she cried. Sophia took another deep sigh before fixing herself. 

When she left the comfort room, she already masked her sadness and negative emotions by flashing a smile.

She decided to go back to Bianca's ward. Matthew would go there to meet her. She didn't know whether Yuri and Matthew were done talking.

She wanted to know what they were about to do next but she couldn't bear to see them together.

When she entered Bianca's ward, Matthew was not yet around. But Clifford was already back. Clifford Sy was just wearing casual clothes, not his usual corporate suit.

Sophia just meekly smiled at him and joined them, pretending she was just fine. It did not take long when Matthew entered the ward. He looked like he was in a good mood.

Sophia became more disheartened when she saw Matthew's bright expression. She wondered if Yuri was the reason for that.

But little did she know, Matthew was also trying to look fine although he had troubling thoughts in mind. He was still bothered by his grandfather's wish.

Matthew and Clifford greeted each other with a nod. Then he turned to Sophia.

"Love, shall we go now?" Matthew asked her.

"Okay, Love. Let's go." Sophia responded.

Sophia and Bianca bid goodbye to each other.

Sophia and Matthew were walking in the hallway when she asked him something. She wanted to test if he would tell the truth or would hide something from her.

"What took you so long to arrive? Did you drop somewhere else?"

"No. I proceeded here right away after leaving our family villa," Matthew answered, not realizing that Sophia wanted to hear from him that he went to see Yuri.

Sophia fell silent after hearing Matthew's response. She thought he wanted to hide something from her.

The two went to the parking lot. Sophia didn't talk anymore. The whole journey to her apartment was very silent. She pretended to be asleep as she closed her eyes during the trip.

When the car stopped in front of her apartment, Sophia stepped out of the car without waiting for Matthew to open the car door for her.

Matthew noticed that Sophia was acting strangely. Was she upset? 

Sophia just waved at Matthew thinking that he would leave quickly after dropping her. But Matthew got out of his car.

Sophia looked at him confusedly, giving him a questioning gaze.

Matthew smiled at her faintly and said, "Are you sending me away without even asking me to get inside your apartment? Will you not offer me a drink?"

Sophia didn't know what to say. Deep inside she wanted him to stay. But she was upset because she thought Matthew lied to her.

'I should not let jealousy win over me and affect our relationship. I should trust Matthew.' Sophia reminded herself.

Sophia grabbed Matthew's hand and nodded her head. "Let's go inside. Have some drinks."

Matthew's face brightened up when Sophia invited him in. The two of them entered the house with their intertwined hands.

Sophia's apartment was small but it was spacious enough for three people. There was one bed, one a space for cooking and eating. There was also a small bathroom inside.

No appliances except for a small screen television and Air Conditioner. But overall the room was well-arranged, organized, and neat and clean.

There was also a table beside her single bed. All her books were arranged on that table. She loved reading books.

Matthew smiled inwardly, thinking about buying more books for Sophia.

Sophia was about to make a coffee for Matthew but she was stopped by two strong arms. Matthew wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her from behind.

"Hey, stop that. I thought you wanted to drink something. Let me finish this." Sophia complained.

"I just used that as an alibi. The truth is I just want to stay here and be with you." Matthew stole a kiss on her right cheek after saying those words.

Sophia was taken aback when she heard that. At least Matthew was putting effort just to be with her. He was so thoughtful and sweet. She was loving him more each day as she got to know him better.

Then Sophia remembered her conversation with Bianca and Alveena. They asked her if she didn't want to lose Matthew. Of course, she didn't want that to happen.

So her two friends, especially Alveena, gave her tips on how she would make Matthew stay with her.

She said she needed to show him how much she cared for Matthew. She didn't need to be shy. She should show it by actions. She needed to be more bold and aggressive too and be more possessive of her man.

Some guys wanted to feel their woman's possessiveness. Through that, they could see how much they mean to her. So Alveena advised her to let her feelings out.

She didn't need to hide it. It was meant to ve shown to the man she loved. If possible, she also needed to be intimate with Matthew, initiating some moves.

"Hey, Love. Are you alright?" Matthew asked Sophia when he noticed that she suddenly became distracted.

He turned her around so that Sophia would now be facing him.

Sophia gazed up to meet Matthew's eyes. Her eyes lingered on his face. Then she realized that she already loved him so deeply.

She was afraid that Matthew would get tired of her. She always felt inferior. But now she realized that she did not need to worry about their different status. Her inferiority would only cause conflict and misunderstanding between them.

She did not want to make those insignificant things a hindrance to their wonderful relationship. She must conquer her fears, her insecurity, and her inferiority.

All she had to do was to open up to him, trust him and continue loving him. That's the most important thing. She should not doubt him.

"Hey, You are scaring me with your silence, Sophie. Are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong again? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Don't tell me… you wanna ask for some space and time? A cool off? I can do that… but please don't ask me to break up with you. Because I can't do that." Matthew spoke spontaneously, feeling anxious.

When they left the hospital, he already sensed that Sophia was acting weird as if she was hiding something from him. She was so quiet. He knew that she was not asleep but she just pretended because she didn't want to talk to him.

That's one of the reasons why Matthew insisted on staying in her apartment. He wanted to know the reason why she was acting coldly towards him.

He even felt alarmed when Sophia didn't even invite him to come inside her apartment. He assumed that Sophia was trying to avoid him.

They just argued last night and made up this morning. He couldn't stand it knowing Sophia was upset with him. He was afraid that Sophia would ask for a breakup.

Now his heart was beating so fast. He was so nervous. He was waiting for her response.

Sophia could see the worry all over his face. Matthew looked afraid and he felt like crying. Sophia wanted to laugh but she held it back.

'Matthew is also overthinking.' Sophia smiled inwardly.

Without saying a word, Sophia raised her hands, cupping Matthew's face. Then she tiptoed as she brought her face closer to his.

Before he knew it, Matthew found himself being kissed by Sophia. Her lips were gently brushing his lips. Her kiss was so comforting as if she wanted to wash away his worry through this kiss.

Matthew blinked his eyes several times. He was caught off guard for a moment before his mind absorbed everything. 

Sophia was kissing him right now, expressing her love for him through this passionate kiss.
